The Batik* oj the Forth.
Mild was the air, & gently wav’d
the “rove •
r* *
Fresh were flic flowers that
deck’d the green sward ga\;
When down thcslope,v herecoo’d
the v ot diand dove,
I lonm! my Laura near the vo
cal spray.
blithe roam’d Ihe fair one round
tlte encircling wood,
Till by the brook that skirts the
hawthorn glade,
We came where late a spreading
poplar stood,
But now across the stream su
pinely laid.
The tender Laura starting, heav’d
a sigh,
For by tins tree the maid had
often sat;
The tear of sor.ow fill’deach love
ly rye,,
* Anil art thou fallen’ said she
* that bloom'd so lute?
4 Alas, try Fdwin! scarce three
daj s arc past,
Since 1 beheld this poplar g>atly
grow;
Yet ;e , mv frit nd, how soon the
ruthless blast
Has laid it - -ireng'h and tow
’ring grandeur ion !
* And v In? is man, with all Im
b< a u and pou nr ?
f < Ah! what though youth & rore
ate beauties bloom;
E’en thus be falls, when in some
Itn kless hour,
Sw in death untimely shrouds
him m the tomb.’
Cease lovely moralist, I fovdlv
said!
While to mv breast I clasp'd
the charming fair,
Let love and transport buss their
secret shade,
And from t ; y bosom banish gtief
aud care.
Say why this sad, though sweetly
piainpve strain;
My life.) -\6f_ love! our youth
was mnoc ior glei ;
Aid wherefore think of death, cr
thus complain,
■When Edwin thinks of nought
but love and thee!
The fair one smil’d, and flush’d
wi li modest charms;
In vvbisp’ru g accen s breath’d
this soft return;
‘ Shei ’<l death untimely snatch
thee from mv arms;
Ah me! woo’d laura have ro
cause to ntourn?’

Among the many iaymgs
■which ir an kind ha\e received
ns true, there is none will hear
the tell of experience better
than this : u Man is an imita
live being.’* We are, indeed,
at all times, imitating, or will
ing to imitate, the atiions, the
dress, or the manners of o
the, s. Nor is this desire con
fined to any nation, to any
rank, or to any condition ; u
is equally prevalent among the
inhabitants of Siberia as a*
inong thoie of Otaheite ; the
■wealthy, the indigent, the no,
Ijl’ man, the pcafant, the wife
and the ignorant ali yield, in
fotne degree, to us influence .
the whole or, to u!e a mote
qualified expression, the great -
est patt of our conduit and
atiions consist but of one con.
tinued fortes of imitations, and
theie are few indeed who are
■willing to ex pole thetnfelves
